The nurse is assisting a family with crisis interventions. Which family-focused intervention is the nurse implementing?

Question

1. Health promotion.
2. Problem resolution.
3. Illness prevention.
4. Health restoration.

Answer 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Crisis intervention is an important element of problem resolution in the care of many families. Crisis intervention is directed toward helping members to discuss and define the problem and to express their feelings concerning the crisis situation. Population health nurses can educate family members regarding the need for adequate nutrition, rest, and physical activity to promote health. Illness prevention may include teaching effective hygiene, referral for immunization, or advocating for access to safe water and food supplies as well as other interventions. Health restoration occurs after a crisis and might involve following up with the family to help them recognize their use of the problem-solving process, identify how the crisis might have been averted if possible, and engage in activities that will prevent future crises from occurring.
